Smacking?
My 10 month old son has made it to the crawling stage :-S He always goes straight for the plug ins, cords, and strings on the blinds, and I want him to know that those things can hurt him, but when i firmly tell him no and move him away he goes right back. My husband thinks we should start lightly smacking his hand when telling him no. I can't decide whether he is old enough for that yet though? So what do you ladies think?

With Lilium I learned I was lucky the first time. She gets into everything and is constantly getting into and going after things that she is not allowed to. Like you redirection doesn't work, she just walks away from me and goes back to the "no no" in question.
What I ended up having to do is 100% baby proof the rooms she is mostly in (the living room, her bed room, and our bed room) surprisingly it didn't cost as much as I thought it would.
For blinds I took the cords on the blinds I put a large eye hook on top of the window frame and *tightly* wrapped the cord around it.
